Welcome To The Middle East Jordan was Raj’s first experience in the middle east, riding into Aqaba. For a first place, what a great choice. Not only is Raj a history buff, but it is located right on the tip of the Red Sea, crystal blue water and jagged mountains scratching the sky. From here, Raj heads to Wadi Rum Desert and beyond. Exploring Every Inch Of Jordan With his passions in the right place, Raj explored and hitchhiked every part of this country, and was a perfect guest to have on the s...

Dustin from That Adventure Life knows all too well how beautiful it is there and the adventures to be had. In this episode, Dustin goes over a perfect weekend itinerary: a kayak, via ferrata, and hike. Then, back in time for work on Monday! Or, for those outside of California, add this to your own it...

The Best Hiking Practice Cheddar Gorge is one of UK's secret (not so secret) wonders. In my opinion, it is the best hiking practice that the South UK has to offer. It is easily accessible to everyone, especially in the South West being located south of Bristol. It's an ideal location for anyone strapped for time or fuel money and can't make it to Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia, Lake District National Parks or Scotland. The Walk Cheddar Gorge offers beautiful and stunning views across and all the way ...

Never Underestimate Any Mountain Never underestimate any mountain. This is the lesson my friend and I learned on this trip. Pen Y Fan stands at only 886m, and we rather ignorantly went into this hike confidently calling it a 'hill'. What Pen Y Fan did was let us get close, bend us over, and spank us back out the way we came. But what a perfect place to fail on; low altitude, no sheer drops (that we got close to), local terrain, easy to navigate back to where you came from... and more as I explai...

Beautiful Beaches, Delicious Fruit, and King Philip II of Spain The Philippines is a collection of over 7000 islands in South East Asia and attracts tourists from all over the world - pandemic aside. It is a country that can provide history and culture in the capital, and beautiful nature on its surrounding islands. This is my second podcast interviewing a guest, the first officially for "Between The Mountains", and made for a very multi-cultural interview; a Brit interviewing a Chinese-Canadian...

The Mountain With Its Head In The Clouds Ben Nevis is the tallest mountain in the UK. Being only 1345m high you’d think that would be nothing to brag about, but what the UK lacks in height it more than makes up for in elevation gain and most importantly: weather. In hindsight, I’ve had seeds sown all my life to adventure in the outdoors. I discuss this further on a podcast I featured on with Destinations Beyond Expectations. As I began to love hiking – which is continuously growing more and more...

Escapism Sometimes, you just need to get away. You need to escape to free your headspace and start lifting the fog in front of your eyes. For Episode 1 I thought I would discuss my very own "Episode 1" and the moment I was bitten by the travel bug. I was doing just exactly as I stated above: escaping. It was a fairly difficult time of my life. Quite heavy for someone of my age and level of life-experience. I was working in a 50+ hour a week job, never had any weekends, with 4 days annual leave r...
